All is Fair, Or is it?
Chapter Five: Down and out
Everclueless: K, sorry if this sux. I changed my mind. Next chapter I'll do one or two pranks and impressions. This is a chapter of questions and the after effects of the pranks.
Warning: Please do not be offended if you like the person I have…well you could say I 'bashed' that character. I have no grudges against him. I just thought it would be funny.

Raven popped a tablet in her tea.
"Friend Raven, why are you putting the traditional medicine of headaches in your beverage?" Starfire asked, walking into the main room.
Raven sighed.
"I think I've gone crazy. A short while ago, I swear, I saw a flying pig. It was screaming and it went through the window and crashed on the ground."
"Friend Raven, that must have been a dream. Maybe you fell asleep."
"That's what I thought. Until I noticed that the window was broken! And shortly after that, I heard some screams. Now I have a headache."
"Friend Raven, shall I sing you the Tameranian Folk Song to calm you down?"
"NO! No, Starfire, I just need quiet right now."
Raven looked around.
"Starfire, have you noticed the boys acting strange lately?"
"No, friend Raven"
Raven sighed.
"Nevermind" She muttered.
The door to the main room burst open.
Beast Boy walked in and collapsed on the couch.
He had twigs, grass, mud and pieces of cardboard stuck to him.
"So many…trees…so much pain…" Beast Boy muttered.
Raven and Starfire raised their eyebrows.
"Um…Beast Boy" Raven patted him on the back.
"What happened to you?" She asked.
"Raven…Rope…pig piñata… window…ground…pain…"
"Um…" Raven tried to comfort him "There…there?"
Beast Boy clung onto Raven.
"So much pain.."
"Okay…um…I'm going to get a first aid…"
Beast Boy clung harder.
"Um…Starfire? Can you please get the first aid?"
"Of course, friend Raven."
Starfire left. Beast Boy was rocking himself while clinging onto Raven. Raven tried her best to calm him down.
'What's going on?' Raven thought 'And WHY ON EARTH is Beast Boy muttering my name?"
Beast Boy suddenly shut up and let go of her and then gave her a hug.
"Um…Beast Boy…?" Raven said while he was hugging her. She wished she could put her hood up. The close contact was making her blush.
Beast Boy continued muttering.
"Um…Beast Boy? Can you let me go?"
Beast Boy ignored her comment.
Raven sighed.
"Nevermind"
She started thinking. Did she like someone in the tower? Over the past few days, her emotions had become a bit haywire. But then who did she like? Was it Beast Boy? She did eat his tofu the other day. Cyborg? She does enjoy helping him with his car. Aqualad? Maybe. Her emotions had gone haywire around the time Aqualad said he was going to stay here…
She started thinking on a different note. If her emotions had gone out of control since Aqualad, speedy and hotspot decided to stay, then she might be in love with Hotspot!
'Eww…gross!' She thought.
Raven snapped back into reality when she saw Starfire enter, carrying the first aid.
Raven grabbed the first aid kit, opened it, and started to bandage a lump on the back of Beast boy's head that looked like a concussion.
A fuming Cyborg stormed in with some kind of concoction all over him.
Beast Boy giggled.
Cyborg leaped at Beast Boy.
Cyborg throttled his neck, strangling him, cutting off his air supply.
Aqualad walked in and chuckled at what he saw. Beast Boy leaped at him, strangling him.
Robin walked in. He looked at Raven holding some bandages just staring, Starfire with her mouth wide open and then, Cyborg throttling Beast Boy who was throttling Aqualad.
He looked at them all with wide eyes.
Robin started backing out of the room.
A tired, boy who was in severe pain walked in. His face was covered with zits and he had angry looking stings all over him.
"Hehe" Robin started, rubbing the back of his head, "Hi Speedy. Now I best be going, Bye!"
Robin started running away from Speedy.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!"
Speedy charged forward and leapt at Robin.
Robin dodged.
Speedy grabbed the back of his neck and slammed Robin's face into the wall.
"Friend Speedy! STOP IT!" Starfire yelled at Speedy.
She yanked Robin away from Speedy and gave him a death hug.
She then held him at arm's length.
"Are you okay, Friend Robin?"
"Uh…I….um…uh…I…uh…yeah…uh"
"Poor, poor friend Robin!" Starfire said, petting Robin's head as if he were a kitten.
Speedy glared a glare scarier than Raven's.
"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" Raven yelled, tearing the three friends from each other's necks.
Aqualad and Beast Boy had red necks and were rubbing them.
Cyborg
"There. Now, Beast Boy, sit back down on the couch so I can put bandages on you. Fish boy, make yourself useful and make me another cup of tea. And Cyborg, take a shower or clean yourself however you clean yourself. You stink."
Beast Boy chuckled and Cyborg started strangling him again.
Aqualad laughed at them and Beast Boy started strangling him.
"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" She tore the boys apart.
"There. Now would you please calm do-"
The boys started strangling each other again. Except Aqualad strangled Beast Boy and Beast Boy strangled Cyborg.
Raven sighed.
"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
"Now sto-"
Yep. They were strangling each other again.
Raven sighed.
"Why do I even bother? Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
She levitated Beast Boy next to her and put a shield around them.
After all, he was the one who needed medical attendance and Cyborg and Aqualad were never strangling or being strangled by each other.
It was the most logical way to stop the strangle-fest.
'Something fishy's going on. Cyborg was strangling Beast Boy, his best friend, well, except for his car, which is strange. Beast Boy was strangling Aqualad, and I know they're…competitive…but still, that isn't something to strangle something before. Speedy was trying to kill the person who's practically his twin, Robin. Cyborg, smelt strange. And Beast Boy, why's Beast Boy hurt? This just doesn't add up. Maybe they're on drugs? Nah. Beast Boy, Aqualad and Cyborg are stupid, but not THAT stupid. And Speedy and Robin would never take drugs. Hmm…I think I might look around the tower Just In Case…' thought Raven, while mending Beast Boy's wound.
lalalalalalalalalalalala – Later – lalalalalalalalalalalala
Raven wandered around the tower.
She stopped.
Speedy's door looked like it had been smashed to smithereens.
"Ouch. What happened here?" Raven asked herself.
Raven entered through the humongous hole in the door, into the room.
It was eerily silent.
Raven noticed a door knob on the floor and a note on that doorknob.
Speedy,
Don't even try to get the warts off. I bought them at a prank shop. They won't go away until twenty four hours have passed. I'd be more concerned about the wasps.
Oh, and by the way; this is payback for yesterday.
Robin.
Interesting.
Why would Robin prank Speedy?
Wasps? What wasps?
Payback? Payback for WHAT?
Raven halted her train of thought to hear a strange noise…a buzzing noise…
Raven looked around the room.
It was coming from a drawer that was covered by a roll of masking tape, to prevent from opening.
The drawer intrigued her.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" Raven chanted lifting the tape off.
She moved towards the drawer, was about to open it, when it burst open and a swarm of angry wasps attacked her.
"AH!" The remainder of the door exploded.
"AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!"
The wasps were trapped in a black bubble.
The black bubble got smaller, and smaller, before an implosion occurred within the bubble.
Raven dropped the energy bubble. Wasp guts splattered to the ground.
Raven ran out of the room, in case any wasps were left.
She hurried down the corridor to reach a door labeled CYBORG.
Interesting.
Walking inside, she smelt a disgusting scent.
There was a bizarre, disgusting concoction on the floor.
Raven spotted another note…
Got ya!
Beast Boy.
Raven silently left the room, thinking.
Payback, pranks, got ya… sounds like some competition is going on….like a prank competition or something.
That would explain the boys' strange behavior; they could be angry at each other because of the pranks pulled.
Hmmm…but why would someone as serious as Robin and Speedy play a stupid game like that?
Sure they were competitive but…
Maybe they were playing for something…to win something maybe?
Raven's thoughts were interrupted from muffled, ear piercing screams.
They were coming from Hotspot's room.
"Better check what's wrong"
Raven tried to open the door. It wouldn't budge.
She looked closely at the door.
Plasticine was in all the cracks and edges of the door, preventing it from opening or letting anything out.
"I'll fix that. Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
As she was removing the plasticine, the door was shaking, and rumbling…
Three more seconds and she'd be done…two…on-
The door exploded, water was flying everywhere.
Water almost as high as the ceiling flowed down the corridor, soaking Raven.
A few seconds later, the river had dropped to knee height; having most water flowed down the corridor.
"Hack, kah, gah…" Spluttered Raven, coughing up all swallowed water.
Soon, a thrashing body was being carried with the river.
The water disappeared; having been absorbed by the carpet and have poured into another corridor.
Hotspot's gasping body thrashed around on the ground.
"AHH! THE WATER! IT'S COMING!" Hotspot screamed.
Raven inched towards Hotspot.
"Uh…Hotspot? Are you okay?"
"GAH! SHE IS WORKING WITH IT! I GIVE UP! I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE! YOU'RE ALL LOONIES! ALL OF YOU! I'M GOING TO MARS! THEY'LL PROTECT ME FROM YOU! YOU'RE PLOTTING AGAINST ME! ALL OF YOU! BWAHAHAHAHHAHA!" Hotspot screamed.
He'd cracked. And it was only just the beginning.
Hotspot ran at full speed out of the tower.
Raven just stared.
"Ooookkayyy. How…um…Interesting…"
